  • How Venues Use Mixers to Serve Up High Volume Cocktails

    The demand for cocktails at Australian venues is growing but in a busy venue, how do you keep up with the demand?

    A recent post on TheShout.com.au addressed this issue by pointing out how Kingpin in Melbourne, a bar within the Crown Casino Complex caters to its high volume crowds as quickly as possible.

    According to the beverage manager Chris Taylor, the venue entertains over 10-15 medium to large groups a week for parties and other celebrations so they needed to make ordering and delivering cocktails an easy and efficient process.

    It’s also important to have a decent cocktail menu and well trained staff to make these cocktails.
